Alexander Wang: RTW Fall 2013.

The always adorable Alexander Wang showed his Ready-to-Wear Fall 2013 collection last week during NYFW. It was a pretty much colorless collection, with mainly black, white, and grey. I feel like he was really excited about furry, flannely things while creating this collection.

Pretty sure this is his first runway debut as Creative Director for Balenciaga. Not sure how I feel about the line though. Some of the pieces are great, like the metallicy see through top below, and the interesting all grey sweat suit, but the furry arm things? What is that? I liked most of the pieces as separates but I couldn't wear many of the things the way Wang paired them on the runway. The shoes are quite interesting though.

Kenneth Cole: F/W 2013.

"Yield to Social Netwalking" 

Kenneth Cole made his 7 year debut back to the runway yesterday at New York Fashion Week for his F/W 2013 collection. The show's theme was based around social media, with Cole donating $1 to amfAR for every tweet and RT using hashtag #KCRunway. The models took their final walk while snapping shots of the photographers and guests with their camera phones. It was mainly a dark collection set on an industrial runway with projected images like birds flowing across the walls. It was all about structure and movement.

There was tons of black initially, but then white, brown, olive, and oxblood; everything with awesome metallic accents. We saw several designers incorporating metallic into their lines this year, like Burberry for their S/S '13 collection. There were great metallic collars, metal necklaces, chokers, and harnesses.

One of my favorite looks was the brown blazer with black front pockets. They paired the jacket with a puffy brown scarf and black leather pants, and it looked really modern and masculine. I like the sheer tops and metallic items in general, though. All gorgeous. And all of the ladies shoes and boots were sleek, but had petite chunky heels.

I also liked how some models wore a small bag hanging around their necks. It was a simple idea, but made a large impact. Kenneth Cole also created several long flowing tunics with side splits. This is something that's been showing up in other collections as well, like BCBC Max Azria F '13.

Honestly, the stuff just looked GOOD. The sheen of the sweaters, the quality of the skirts, the lines...just nice.

Timo Weiland: RTW Fall 2013.

Timo Weiland's runway show for NY Fashion Week was earlier today. I watched it live and it was pretty enjoyable. The main colors of the show were black and white, pops of vibrant red and army green, and oxblood. Yes, oxblood will be back in action in F/W 2013 as well.

I like the oxblood and grey striped crisscross dress. And the army green sweatshirt (which you can see below) with the large cow print is quite adorable. I spot a trend with that cow print...Givenchy also used the cow print in their F/W 2013 collection.

My favorite outfit, by far, is the gorgeous green dress with the thigh high black boots. When she came-a-walking, a young sir like myself was quite happy. It is so my style. Dresses all around were great though.

Oh and sidenote, the DJ/Emcee was getting hella crunk randomly on the sideline. Did anybody else notice her? Anddd why is Timo so adorable with his broken arm and extra curly hair?

BCBG Max Azria Fall 2013.

I loved literally EVERYTHING about this show. The models were all gorgeous and the clothes....oy vey! I loved the beanies. They make the look so youthful and modern and hip. Bravo.

There were beanies for every single model in black, grey, and tan. The main shoe/boot was absolutely fabulous. If I owned that shoe, I'd probably never take it off. I'd wear it to work, the grocery store, while doing the dishes, hell I'd wear them to bed. It looks like a traditional black stiletto fused with a thigh high black leather boot that zips down the side. There's also an oxblood version.

KENZO Paris sweatshirt and a dope statement necklace of  lady leg's.
Emerald green and other jewel tones are must haves for Fall.

These fabulous ladies aren't playing ANY type of games. I just want to curl up in a fuzzy blanket and  rock slowly to these images. But really, from all the snapshots of guests I've seen, these are some of my definite favorites. Fierceness, femininity, and IDGAF all rolled up in one city. It's beatuiful.

Take a look at the images below courtesy of style.com. Notice the trends for Fall and what you can take and make your own. As long as you own the look, you'll be mint.

Layering and  statement necklaces.

Patterns on patterns.
It makes it easier if you use the same color palette, like different
shades of blue in different patterns. 

She is giving me life right now.
I am about to explode.

Peplums and pencil skirts.

Cara and Bart

Lots of patterns and textures. 

Alexander McQueen visor.

My Lord.  She needs to be on somebody's runway.

The sheer top gives structure and a pop of color.
Just another version of layering.

More greens.
Also watch our for navy.

Cat eye's still relevant and classy.

Cool girls.

Love a good leather/ denim mix.
That peplum skirt is super cool

Emerald and statement necklaces...who's surprised? lol
Oh and floral will continue into the fall.
Just as long as it isn't a summer fabric.

Balenciaga

Try a bulkier top and a more form fitting bottom.
